Students of the WARM program will receive hands-on learning through paid internships with world-class resorts, lodges, and hotels in the Park City Area. Besides the close proximity to outdoor adventure, ski resorts, and the attractions of Park City, students of WARM can also look forward to tuition reimbursement, resume-building experience, and valuable network connections within the industry.
This innovative program combines in-class instruction with on-the-job learning through paid internships with partnering hotels/resorts. (Internship hours will adjust to the seasonal demands of Park City area hotel operations.) In addition to competitive pay, WARM students generally qualify for tuition reimbursement of $1000 per semester.
WARM empowers Hospitality Management students to graduate with little to no debt.
Total tuition for the entire 5-semester program is $17,700 for Utah residents and $25,075 for non-residents.
Students who work for a hotel partner may be eligible to receive up to $5000 in tuition reimbursement benefit over the course of the 5-semester program.
Housing expense is generally 20% to 30% higher in Heber than in Utah County. Various options are available for both single and married housing. The WARM program coordinator can help inform you of housing resources and options and connect you to existing and prospective students who are looking for roommates.
Agreements with hotel partners ensure students earn a minimum wage of at least $16 per hour after tips. Students with significant work experience, and students who work in tipped front-of-house positions, often earn well in excess of the guaranteed hourly pay rate.
Most students will work 2-3 shifts (20 hours on average) while studying full-time and 4-5 shifts (35 hours on average) while studying part-time. It is expected that students will work full-time over holiday breaks (40 hours on average). Students meeting these parameters can expect to earn $39K or more in wages and tips over the 20 months while in the program.
